I glanced in Lumia's direction. She had been silent for some time now, looking downcast as her expression seemed morbid.

"Something on your mind?" I asked, drawing near her.

Upon hearing my voice, her body slightly jumped as she looked up to meet my eyes.

"What's the matter, Lumia?" 

My voice was calm and soothing, yet the artificial goddess did not seem relieved to see me.

"Why..." Her low voice trailed.

I paused, allowing her to speak.

"Why did you kill them...?" She mumbled.

Her question sounded similar to what Talia used to ask me. I didn't want to go through the trouble of explaining my reasoning to her.

Besides, they hadn't even died. All of the townsfolk were alive within Lust, though I was pretty sure they would wish they were dead.

"Why do you ask? Are you somehow feeling bad for the death of those humans?" I asked, giving her a casual smile.

"No... that's not it..." She mumbled.
